great news!!

phew! well, after a really long time of searching and interviewing, ed was offered a great job yesterday! we're so excited - not just about having a new job that he's enthusiastic about, but also because it is such an answer to prayer. we know that this was completely God's doing... so many little details remind us of that! God's provision for us in the past year has been incredible - we're so grateful to Him for that. and for our friends and family who played a huge role in that provision as well. i'm just "bubbling up" with excitement and relief!!
now, i'm getting ready to head off to a beach trip with my elementary/middle school girlfriends to celebrate our 30th birthdays. this, too, is such a treat (made possible by a beloved friend!!) and i'm really excited about this getaway with friends... should be fun, relaxing and rejuvenating! and i hope this will be a good weekend for ed and the boys - just the guys again for a weekend. my only concern is what the house will look like when i get back... oh well. pics to come soon... i hope!
